FEAR OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Man Bitten by Horse which was
Possibly Mad.

About Christmas Mr.. Garrett, n
Young man who has store at South
wards, in Henrico county, had mare
bitten on the noGe by so-called rabid
dog. The dog also bit cat and another
dog. A few days since tue mare was
taken sick, the symptoms being in the
form Of Mysteries. Mr.. Garnet brought
her Richmond and placed her under
the care Of Or. Rogers, veterinary
surgeon. but she only lived about an
hour after reaching the city. She was
very vicious, and it is the opinion of
some that she died of hydrophobis.
The cat which was bitten died few
DAYS ago. About tho same time
the bitten dog, it was thought, showed
signs of hydrophobia, and was shot by
Mr.. Garrett.
The dog which did the biting was
killed Immediately after the occur
rences above mentioned.
After Mr.. Garnet arrived here with
the mare she snapped at him twice
first mt his arm, missing the flesh and
catching a portion Of his coat-sleeve in
her mouth, leaving slight bruise on
the arm, and then swapping at his
hand and tearing off piece of flesh.
The wound was at once put under the
hydrant and washed clean, and was
cauterized by the veterinary surgeon.
Later on Mr.. Garnet called in DIR.
Riddell, who made further cauteriza-
ton.
Yesterday the patient visited DR.
Mcclure, who said to him that the
treatment of the veterinary surgeon anC
of DR.. Riddell was perfectly proper
Mr.. Garrett is a man Of great cour
age and hopefulness, and is not satisfied
that the mare was mad. True, she haC
been a great pet, and had always beer
remarkably gentle, but he Is inclined t.
attribute her snappishness to hystenc
rather than to hydlophobia. He wen

is no present proof that the mare wa

DR.. Mcclure said last night to ')i'
| patch reporter that he had had thlri,
years practice, and that he had neve
seen case of hydrophobia, nor had hi
seen any physician who had. He ha'
quite recently been cOnversing with Dr
Beale, who has had nearly sixty years
practice, and DR.. Beale said that h ha'

CHARLESTON, W. VA, February II.
Although no change is percephble ID
the senatorial outlook there is gene
raj feeling that change is coming. 1t
is well known that the Republicans
who wish the session 30 close without
an election being effected are hard
pressed to keep some OF their party
within the lines. In fact, the kicking
Republicans are growing more indie
pendent every day, and to-day when
the Joint assembly met it was be-
lieved by the Republican leaders
that the only way to Keep
the Independents in line was to noml-
rate one Of their members, trusting
that legislative courtesy would accom-
plish what neither arguments nor
threats could. Senator Maxwell was
accordingly nominated, and the result
showed that the ruse was successful.
No better selection could have been
made in order 10 unite the many lac
tiops of which the Republican side OF the
Legislature is composed, the Senator
having been Greenbacker, Republican,
and Prohibitionist. The ballot when
taken stood: Camden, Sc; Maxwell,
80; Johnston, 70; and Newman and
Parbee each.
